Summary: Merge new characters from Chromium OS core fonts
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: liberation-fonts
AssignedTo: psatpute(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: cody(a)zone38.net

Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Chromium OS includes new fonts called Arimo, Cousine, and Tinos. These fonts
are, in fact, identical in design to the the Liberation fonts; more accurately,
they're new font files direct from Steve Matteson using the same character
designs as Liberation. However, these fonts include a vastly larger character
set, including such glyphs as Polytonic Greek, Altaic Cyrillic and IPA that
might be useful for certain locales.
The latest revision of the Chromium fonts, as of now, is downloadable here:

And the relevant issues from Chromium OS are here:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5287http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5941
Would it be possible to work with Google and/or Steve Matteson to get these new
characters merged into the Liberation fonts as well?
